"Expatriates in Kabul find the restrictive dress code and social customs of Afghan culture to be one of the greatest cultural challenges. The varying language and dialects can also be difficult to navigate, especially for those expats who do not have a good grasp of the Dari or Pashto dialects. Additionally, expats must contend with unpredictable security situations that can affect their daily lives. The extreme poverty and lack of basic necessities are further hardships that the expat can face. Taking all these potential difficulties into account, expats in Kabul may find the local culture hard to adjust to," explained one expat living in Kabul, Afghanistan.
